Remarks

For help in understanding the attribute definition template, see Reading NDS Attribute Type Definitions.

This attribute was added for general LDAP support.

An LDAP schema query requires extended terms (X_NDS) to return the NDS attribute constraints.

Note that this attribute is a special LDAP attribute and cannot be used in an ldapsearch filter. When running an ldapsearch query, do not include distinguishedName= or dn= in the filter syntax.
